  1. no ******* way staff is expecting us to build huge keeps and builds in survival right???? they remove pastes and LC plugin isn't ready for "the forseeable future" that is absolutely ridiculous and does not incentivise me to contribute to any vassals/lairs/etc builds because i will spend 10+ hours on a build server with room and infinite resources to make mistakes and undo them in the build, then i will have to spend perhaps double that gathering resources and rebuilding it by hand AGAIN on live with litematica, don't even get me started on terraforming in survival. if this is a continuing occurrence i forsee huge stagnation in terms of scenery on the server

      @Cobblerit seems weird to bring up things being lore correct when we have metropolises littering the map with the populations of hamlets

      Have you considered building something more in-scale with your group's actual playerbase so it doesn't feel empty? This would seem like a good way to promote that, and have fewer completely empty gigantic cities and castles.

  3. how do the british people of lotc feel about the name "mingebottom" for the halfling town

     

    personally i love it 

  4. And did those feet in ancient time
    Walk upon England's mountain green?
    And was the holy Lamb of God
    On England's pleasant pastures seen?
    And did the countenance divine
    Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
    And was Jerusalem builded here
    Among those dark satanic mills?
     
  5. why are there so few black characters on lotc

     

    i'm not even memeing but like you'd think there'd be way more than there are(are there any rn???)

      I mean the real main reason? Because this server is incredibly white, and furthermore it can be pretty hostile to POC in a lot of places.

       

      Also though, there aren't any established Black cultures really? I know there have been in the past but not at the moment (i see u lil halfling family)

  6. Guess I’ll make clear, homophobic or homophobia role play is fine so long as oocly it’s treated like a character flaw and not a virtue. That’s my hot take, don’t need to send DMs to me on discord telling me to kill myself now pro-homophobia camp!

  7. Homophobic Roleplay on LoTC is way too normalized and it ******* sucks.

     

    Can’t wait for the next installment where we discuss how fun rape and genocide can be to RP! smh. I’m out.

      Too many people on here want to RP as their weird Catholic uncle, even at the expense of following their own lore lmao. 

      And hey don’t sell us short, the Snow-Elf genocide has been a running project for several years now

  8. My character Reynault has an unjust skepticism towards all non-humans. He thinks dark elves are no good because he spent most his life fighting dark elf bandits. 

  9. I'm getting heavy wonk ca flashbacks from the alchemy apps.

      these are all grandfathered ones I think, people who’ve been doing alchemy for ages and now just need to document it

  13. How is Marsumar like still a physical place, the peak activity I have seen at that place is two people, and they where both AFK. How is it still standing.

    1. Somersetting

      Somersetting

      everybody saying that an inactive place should be replaced with another group seem to not understand that there are a finite number of players on the server, and there are far more nations and charters right now than there are players for them all to be active.

  16. Is anyone writing ghost lore, or is ghost lore available anywhere for players to build on? I don’t think ghost lore is currently accepted.

    1. Somersetting

      Somersetting

       thats the accepted lore for them, they are playable right now

      @DISCOLIQUID I think if you can pay for railroad tracks you can pay for armed guards, also railroads don’t really make much sense IRP’ly right now. I’d more support having like, 4 warps maximum throughout the map, not right by any particular nation (like in a protected forest area, no build but banditry & pvp are on). Make people walk between settlements, but throw a bone to Korvassa and the Queen’s isles.

       

      also who is the Queen of the Queen’s isles?

  18. Wait so crossbows take the same emotes as bows??? I thought a key difference was that a crossbow took longer to prepare???

    1. Somersetting

      Somersetting

      @TheAlphaMoist because they do lmao, crossbows you have to load the bolt, pull back the mechanism / the winch / the lever, aim and fire. Estimates varry but 1 minute per crossbow shot sounds standard, english longbow could be less that 10 seconds but tbh that sounds pretty long, an extremely skilled archer could fire multiple shots per second with a shortbow in quick bursts.

       

      I honestly think in CRP if were to have a standard, it should be 2 emotes for a standard sword swing, (emote pulling back / telegraph the attack), 3 for a bow, and at least 4 for a crossbow just for OOC balance’s sake. Unfortunately people do 1 emote longsword attacks, so its not really an option to accurately rp crossbows.

      Yeah dark ale / stout is what I’m getting the vibe for @ScreamingDingo, but its also often described as sweet and thick? Thank you though

  22. can someone argue in favor of nation leaders and the immediate orbiters around them having positions as staff? Is that not a conflict of interests? Genuinely curious, not trying to stir the pot. I’m open to hearing arguments in favor of such because I can’t think of any myself – but present the case and I may very well change my mind! Thanks lads.

      What nation leaders do? I mean at LT, WT, even ET I don’t see it being that objectionable...
